`Error: Not connected to the internet` when invoking http.createServer

Gordon, pthieu,

I seem to have a related problem. I am trying to get a web server running on boot up, I've used samples from the forums to test with. Here's the code I'm using:

>dump()

E.on("init", function () {
  var http = require("http");
                   http.createServer(function (req, res) {
                   res.writeHead(200);
                   res.end("Hello World");
                   }).listen(8080);
});

As you can see, the code was saved(). I've also saved the wifi settings (which do work btw)! However, when booting I get:

Loading 1836 bytes from flash...
ERROR: Not connected to the internet

And, when I try to browse to port 8080 on the IP address of my ESP8266, the web browser can't load the page, however, if I type:

>load()
=undefined
Loading 1836 bytes from flash...

Voila, it starts working! I am assuming that the http server is starting before the wifi interface, thus producing the Not connected to the internet error and when I load the code manually after the ESP8266 has finished booting, it works. This isn't very handy!

Any ideas chaps? Oh and pthieu, I think I have the same ESP8266 as you...
